Absolutely loved the food at Tandoori Express! The biryani was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The veg korma was creamy, rich, and full of taste. Portion sizes were generous and everything tasted fresh. Great value and quick service — definitely coming back!

The experience from the entry to exit was excellent! The attention to customer service, superb. The food was beyond description. It was authentic, delicious and not too spicy (we ordered everything mild). The portion was just right for our group of 9 people and every bite was tasteful and well flavored. We ordered butter chicken, lamb curry, saag paneer, baingan masala, aloo gobhi, tandoori chicken, and samosa special. We ate everything. It was so good We even received a complimentary dessert! What a gem this restaurant is. I would definitely stop again next time we visit Yosemite

It was delicious dinner. Good, clean place with nice service. It's the best Indian food which we have found around Yosemite National Park. Highly recommend. I have to add my review :) and tell that chocolate cake was also very tasty!

Minus the server not knowing what’s in his own food, this place was great. We had amazing authentic food. The goat vindaloo was super soft and tender. The basmati rice was absolutely delicious. The lamb was really good, tiny portion though for the price. The butter naan was our favorite. We tried the samosa too, the breading was good, but the feeling was dry and pasty. Everything else was great. Highly recommend.

We ordered 1. today's special - "XXXX Vada XXXX" - some deep friend potato covered in chickpea powder, was amazed by the taste of it! 2. Chicken rogan curry could've been more ROGAN, was on the watery side 3. Chicken kurma was our favourite dish 4. Lamb Briyani was herby but they were generous with their spice 5. Chai was mehhh 6. Garlic Naan was fluffy with slight garlic taste! Love it One of their staff was pretty funny and he was helpful and friendly!

Perfect comfort meal after a long day of hikes in Yosemite, the service is fantastic as they kept checking in on us and the food was brought out really fast. The naans were super soft and fluffy and the curries were well made.
